Alistair Thring

City: San Francisco

County: Surrey

Country: United Kingdom

Comments: I am trying to locate any member of Reginald F. Young's family. He was born in 1881. Lived with his mom (Elizabeth C. Young) and dad (John Young); his uncle Frank Young and aunt Catherine Young in 67 Wilford Rd, Croydon as per the 1881 UK census. This family were all dairymen. I often wonder in which dairy they might have worked in 1881.
